“The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled “non-native.”
However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the “non-native” label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
Crystal C’Bearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.” She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their future…"

How are #ageing #populations, changing #family structures, and #inequalities reshaping #intergenerational support?
In June, we welcomed more than 40 delegates from the UK, Europe, and beyond to the University of St Andrews for the CPC-CG Symposium on Intergenerational Change and Support, where they explored these issues over two days of presentations and discussions.

Again, I just answered this question phrased slightly differently but #Indigenous #Populations are overrepresented in the streets also. Every vulnerable group is. The fastest growing demographic is mine. Over 50. So no we're not moving on from anything. Read my #pin documents. Universal plans.

📺 NEW VIDEO - Catch up on our #CPCCGWebinar with Joseph Harrison from the University of Salford.
Joseph discussed a key finding in #migrant health research: although foreign‑born #populations often live longer, they may spend more of those extra years in poorer health. Using #Swedish #administrativedata, Joseph examines which major causes of #death show this paradox, offering a clearer picture by relying on objective patient records rather than self‑reported #health: https://youtu.be/CiBkLxADtrk?si=T7jiicfhJfI2XZvV

Paul Ehrlich predicted disaster from overpopulation, but today the challenge is declining fertility, with governments in Asia and Europe seeking ways to boost births and maintain economic and social stability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/29/world/paul-ehrlichs-population-predictions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #paulehrlich #demographics #populations #humanrace

"Such #fish #migrations happen in #rivers across the world - #salmon & #eels are more familiar examples - but many are rapidly collapsing, according to the most comprehensive assessment to date. The analysis, by the UN’s convention on the conservation of migratory species (CMS)... found #freshwater fish #populations #worldwide have crashed by about 81% since 1970."

"Kuang argues that the focus needs to shift entirely: away from trying to fix #ageing #populations demographically, toward dealing with its challenges directly"
CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang contributes to 'The baby letter', an article examining France’s new '#demographicrearmament' plan, which includes sending letters to all 29‑year‑olds urging them to think about #fertility alongside broader #reproductivehealth measures: https://thegloriousletter.com/the-baby-letter/

"Using drone surveys and 15 years of nesting data, scientists at Queen Mary University of London report that booming nest counts could be misleading. As global warming causes temperatures to rise, more sea turtle eggs are developing into females. Without enough males, even a seemingly thriving population can collapse. Their findings, which are yet to be peer-reviewed, were posted January 20 to bioRxiv.org."
